So, today I wanted to mess around with this “CopyOMEGA Ω Co-Axial Master Chronometer GMT 45.5mm” thing. It’s basically trying to copy some characters or symbols. I started by digging around the internet for some simple methods.
First, I found out that we need to deal with URL encoding stuff. These URLs use special characters, and it can be a pain because regular text can’t handle them well. I learned that URL encoding is all about making these special characters safe to use in web addresses.
Then, I stumbled upon some tools that promised to make encoding and decoding URLs easier. One tool, called “ToggleCase,” claimed to do just that, but I didn’t try that, sounds like a hassle.
I also found this website, “W3Schools,” that has a bunch of tutorials on web stuff. I figured it might have something on encoding, but I didn’t dive too deep into it, just remembered its name.
Next, I was curious about a specific symbol, the bullseye (◎). I found some info on a site called “*.” It told me that this symbol has a Unicode code, U+25CE. It’s part of something called “Geometric Shapes.” The site also gave some HTML codes for it, like ◎ and ◎. There was some other stuff about typing it in Windows, but I just skimmed over that.
I then found someone talking about using the bullseye in a URL. The example is related to some web security thing, I don’t even know what “SSRF” means. It seemed like a headache, so I moved on.
Another website I came across was “Alan Wood’s Unicode Resources.” It lets you check if your browser can show these special characters. I tested it out, and my browser seems fine. It shows the bullseye symbol without any problems.
I found another place that gave me similar info about U+25CE, the bullseye symbol. It listed those HTML entities again and talked about UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32. That part was a bit over my head. I just wanted to copy and paste the thing!
Finally, I saw that there’s a simple “copy pc” button somewhere for U+25CE. It’s supposed to be an easy way to copy and paste it. And guess what? I just clicked that button, copied it, and then pasted it wherever I needed.
- Searched around for info on URL encoding.
- Found some tools but didn’t really use them.
- Looked up the bullseye symbol (◎) and its Unicode (U+25CE).
- Checked if my browser could show it (it could!).
- Found an easy copy-paste button and used it.
Here’s what I did step-by-step:
In the end, it was way simpler than I thought. I just needed to find that copy button. No need to mess with all that encoding and decoding stuff manually. I got my bullseye symbol copied without a sweat! ◎
